 Program and Conferences
The EVMS General Surgery residency program
is divided into two components. The first year is designated as
the “core” component, which provides the basic science education necessary
for all surgeons. The final four years of the curriculum are devoted to
general surgery education.
The department follows a structured curriculum that meets the
educational goals and objectives for graduate medical education as set
forth by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
